Holiday Rentals in Beja - A Guide to Beja
The district of Beja is in the south of Portugal just to the north of the Algarve. Holiday rentals in Beja are becoming more popular as prices tend to be lower than on the southern coast but the climate is every bit as good.
The district has an Atlantic coastline and while many Beja holiday rentals are located near the sea, this is a dramatic coast with high cliffs and sheltered coves, rather than the long sandy stretches beloved of holidaymakers found further south. Beja is a land of wide open skies and beautiful countryside stretching right across to the Spanish border.
Holiday rentals in Beja will probably appeal to those looking for a country retreat from which to enjoy outdoor pursuits rather than beaches or city nightlife. The district forms part of the “Golden Plain” of the Alentejo region where the vast prairies of grain are interspersed by green forests of cork oaks.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Beja
Beja holiday rentals are very varied in size and location. The district covers a large area and encompasses coastline, countryside, forest and mountains. I have seen a lovely little one bedroom cottage to rent in Beja which sleeps 3 people and is in a very secluded position in the countryside. Perfect for a quiet get-away.
At the other extreme for large families or groups there are very large villas to rent in Beja suitable for up to 24 people. These large farmhouses and villas to rent in Beja are perfect for those who wish to enjoy walking, horseriding, fishing, sailing and many other outdoor pursuits. In between is a large selection of 2 bedroom house to rent in Beja and three bedroom houses to rent in Beja, nearly all with pools and gardens.
The most unusual Beja holiday rental I have come across is a converted windmill in a tranquil setting. As there are no large cities it is not so easy to find apartments to rent in Beja. The vast majority of houses to rent in Beja will have gardens and swimming pools. In this sparsely populated district you may find public transport somewhat sparse and to get the most from your Beja holiday rental you would be well advised to have your own transport, either your own car or a hired one.
